Abstract
First paragraph:
Solidarity has been a key ingredient in the existence of the United Kingdom (UK) as a single political entity since its inception. As a pluri-national state (the country brings together four different nations: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland), the UK has had to find a balance between what would otherwise be competing solidarities located at different geo-political levels. Infra-national solidarity (e.g. solidarity among Scottish or Welsh people) must be combined with cross-national forms of solidarities (e.g. Scottish towards Welsh), as well as with a supra-national solidarity (e.g. Scottish towards British).
